Will I have to attend an interview for my adjustment of status application?

In most family-based adjustment of status cases, yes. USCIS typically requires an in-person green card interview for applicants applying for permanent residence. Both the petitioner (U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident) and the beneficiary (foreign national spouse, child, or relative) are generally required to attend the USCIS interview.

​

Can my immigration attorney attend the interview with me?

Absolutely. At Powers Immigration Law, your attorney will attend your adjustment of status interview as part of your representation. Having an attorney present ensures you are fully prepared, helps address any legal or procedural issues that may arise, and provides peace of mind knowing someone is there to advocate for your rights throughout the process.

​

Will I receive copies of the immigration forms and documents filed on my behalf?

Yes. We believe in transparency and keeping our clients informed. At Powers Immigration Law, you will receive copies of all immigration documents submitted to USCIS and other government agencies on your behalf, as well as copies of all correspondence received. We also recommend that clients keep their own records as part of their permanent immigration file.

​

Will bringing an immigration lawyer to my USCIS interview create problems?

Not at all. You have the legal right to be represented by an immigration attorney at your USCIS interview. It is both common and advisable. Your lawyer can help clarify misunderstandings, respond to questions from the immigration officer, and potentially resolve issues on the spot—avoiding delays or the need for follow-up.
